Spyro Reignited Trilogy - PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4

It was awesome to be able to relive my childhood replying all of these games. The graphics are good and they didn't mess with the game play or controls too much. My only gripe is with the technology these days it would have been cool to see way more detail in this. They still kept the original cartoony style. Missed opportunity.

I have all the originals from the PS1 era so I'm making a reviewed based on past to present. Spyro reignited trilogy would have easily earned a five star rating. Let's start with the positive: First,it's Spyro! The gameplay is as fun and addictive as you remember on the PS1. There have also been some added bonuses and levels that were not in the original title. In fact, gaining entry into the first one nets you an easy trophy! Even though old school gamers don't need a reason to pick up this title and play all over again, it's a fun little bonus. There is now a hintbook in game that acts as a "checklist" for all the goals that need to be accomplished and all the items that need to be collected. A mini map feature has also been added that can be turned on or off at anytime. All of these additions make the game a little better in my opinion, as I remember getting "lost" at certain points in the original. So the issue of "where do I need to backtrack to?" isn't present. The camera flows much more smoothly now and doesn't get "stuck" against certain objects. The overall controls have been improved and don't feel as clunky as they did on the original. Jumping and gliding to different areas to collect that one last chest or gem isn't as trial and error as it used to be. The graphics are very beautiful and fluid. This really impressed me during the first few minute of playing the game. There are now more detailed versions of the dragons that you set free. For instance in the opening artisan level, one dragon holds a lute and wears a renaissance hat while another has a paintbrush while sporting an apron. Now unfortunately comes the negative and why I need to dock two stars. This isn't the fault of the game itself, but rather the publisher. The Spyro trilogy release date was pushed further back only to put "some of the levels" of 2 and 3 on disc. The rest must be downloaded online. There is no excuse for this. I would have waited a year to get ALL of the content from ALL three games on disc. This was a very lazy, half-truth deception. I do not pay for digital ghost copies of games. That has zero trade in value. I am not a millennial and am not going to start throwing down money for a game that I will not really own. When the PS4 is dead and the PS5 is out, I'll just no longer be able to play the remake of Spyro 2 and 3 as it's not on disc and no longer available online? After all Sony has offered up so many digital PS2 titles on PS4.I will not support this practice and encourage companies to continue this type of greed. This could have been prevented and easily made into a five star game as having all three Spyro remakes on one disc would have been amazing. If something is going to take up 55GB of my space the full game should be on the disc. Crash didn't get this kind of treatment, neither should Spyro.

I loved this game growing up as a kid. When I first bought the PS4 I was a little disappointed it didn't have some of the old games I use to play. Well when I saw that Xbox had this game i quickly looked up to see if PS4 did. And was excited to find out that they did have it. I immediately bought it. I enjoy playing it just as much as I did when I was a kid, if not more. Graphics are great as well. It's definitely something I can sit and play for hours. I definitely recommend the game.

Near perfect remake (not remaster) of the original games. Quite enjoyed the old school gameplay with revitalized graphics. The ONLY downside of this collection is the vomit-inducing motion blur when turning the camera BUT, now we have an option to toggle motion blur on/off thanks to the latest patch on consoles. Recommended!

I have fond memories of playing this game when I was younger so I was excited to play the updated version. So far I've only gotten a chance to jump into Spyro 2, but the experience has been great! It's nice to be able to run around levels and actually make out all the little details that were out of focus before. The game itself is still enjoyable. It's so relaxing just to run around and collect gems, trying to get 100% each level. The only negative is the 19 gig download that is required when you purchase the physical copy of the game. I bought the disc to avoid the large downloads! With my internet speed, it took all day to finish.
